Pushing The Internet In To Space

Sad because you can't connect to the internet at the cottage? Don't worry. Soon the internet will even be available in space.

"Forget the world wide web. Through a project called the interplanetary internet, Hooke and networking guru Vint Cerf, co-creator the internet's TCP/IP protocol, have been working for the past six years to develop a standard for communicating in disconnected environments, where an uninterrupted two-way dialog isn't possible." - Wired

After all, you know that if Wired is covering a story it is likely that it's highly influential on media as well as on the world of technology. I myself bet that pushing the internet into space is a very smart project that will be happening in the near future.
